Many months later but miracles do happen! I saw this today and think we are all good lol. Took a lot to get here and some blood was drawn but I think we are friends now.

Thank you appreciate. That might be next on my list but I'm out of funds at the moment and I don't think my cat can handle more right now. The last place I went to was 15 mins away from the university which would be an hour and 45 min drive for me. I did call them but their wait times were...

Wow this is so crazy to me. It's so maddening beyond words. Even more bizarre for you is how do 2 cats at the same time develop a food allergy. Like what are the chances. I wish I could help you but I've lost hope with the vets. They act like I'm making this up but I can't pretend he's ok when...

I was actually going to update today on here so funny you ask. Honestly the short answer is no I never figured out and he's still doing it. Did your cats lose weight? Just curious if the symptoms align. For Oliver the vet now said its not toxoplasmosis which I guess he must of been exposed...

No I am thankful for the article I read it. I've read a lot about Toxoplasmosis now. I have a list of questions for the vet tomorrow. All I know is he's suffering and not well. I am skipping the meds today bc he seems even sensitive to touch. I'll maybe do the gabapentin later but he's growls...

The antibiotics for this seems to be making Oliver way worse. We are on day 6 now and he just seems to be in so much pain. Even if I give a gabapentin. Another thought is he's got something way worse going on. I am thinking about putting him down bc he's so miserable at some points. I see the...

Hi just fyi I just got the results it is toxoplasmosis. I'm hoping there is not more but I'm curious what you found out bc I'm trying to see stories of people who have went through this and there is not a lot. My cat just started the antibiotics yesterday and I've seen no improvement yet with...

Thanks for this I appreciate it. I am worried that he does have something more wrong with him bc he is just not well. But I just started the antibiotic and with a parasite it takes time I would think. I hate seeing him shake. Makes me afraid the parasite is in the brain.

So sorry for the long gap inbewteen the post but I waited so long to get the blood results back from the new vet. They told me they called and emailed but I guess they had a wrong number on file and I never got the email. Anyways he has Toxoplasmosis. Which is a parasite that can cause temours...

Did you ever find out why your cat was shaking? I have a situation with a cat shaking with some other symptoms like weight loss. The vets can't figure out what's going on. The just tested for toxoplasmosis don't know results yet.

Ok tomorrow when they open. I'm hoping I get the appointment for him faster than i anticipate and that he isn't suffering too bad. I honestly don't think it's painful but more like he's sick and uncomfortable, he seems exhausted, and has anxiety bc he doesn't know what's up and is sick of me.

That's a good question. I have gabapentin but it made me think he felt worse on it. But maybe I'll give half the dose tonight or 1/4 see if smaller helps. They gave him a sedative to take that aspiration. I told the vet how this made the shaking stop. I wonder if there is something else like...

I'm guessing it was the newer one but I can't say for sure bc I don't have the package anymore. But yeah I was reading about this last night. It really scared me. I used to think Revolution was so safe. But I havnt used it in years and didn't realize they had this new formula. I thought I was...

This was in reference to CBD oils someone is suggesting. I noted in my comment I don't think this is the right route right now for my cat.

It's not strange to suggest the other cat but the shaking is so severe and he's feeling so unwell I cannot just dismiss it as that. As the sedative wears off he got more dumpy again. They were brothers only 8 years old. His brother had a giant cancer mass in his abdomine. Not overly bonded but...
